You can load the scene by disabling operators in your user preferences. Preferences > Data Management > Scene Debugging.
There's a number of other things you can disable as well. It'll let you open the scene and delete/repair whatever is causing the issue so you don't have to start over. The scene will probably look completely different as construction history will not be evaluated, so don't be alarmed. Just remember to reset the preference values when you return to normal workflow.

Doing an animation that involves physX simulation, which I know virtually nothing about. Client has been loving everything so far, then we have the dreaded conference call when they have a list of "little tweaks", none of which are little. Today I come to the office at 5am, load my scene and start to try to make the tweaks. The moment I try to use translate, scale or rotate on anything in my scene - BAM, Softimage crashes. Reboot the machine - same thing. Run "runonce.bat" - same thing. Delete the Softimage 2014 SP2 folder from my User profile - same thing. Disable physX - same thing. Merge the scene into a new one.... same thing. WTF??? There's no crash dump, no attempt at recovery - just Autodesk Softimage 2014 has stopped working. The only option I can find is to go back to a version of the scene prior to physX being applied. Stuff like this makes me want to throw my system out the window & become Amish. -Paul
